CHILDREN'S SERVICES

Aspire towards achievement

Rachel Dickinson argues the review of children’s care in England must challenge the stereotype that care is a bad place to end up and be more ambitious about what children can achieve.

Last month the Scottish Government published its care review. England will also be looking at how we support the growing number of children and young people in its care, with the specific details to be announced.

As corporate parents we want to ensure children in care and care leavers thrive, however, as a country there is more we can do to improve their outcomes and more this Government could do to enable a preventative approach to improving children and families' life chances.
